black cow
2 works on paper
3 small works on canvas
adding contrasting layers
black cow on canvas 80cm sq
black cow 6it *sigh*)cm sq (undercoating was similar, not shown)
2 finished pieces, black cow 1& 2
undercoating 3 canvases 80cm sq (& 1 canvas 60cm sq, not shown) nb. this pic should NOT be at the bottom, but I cant move it *sigh*
big jute
a 5m bolt of coarse jute, 160cm wide, has led to some fun
here are some images, process and completion, of the 4 pieces I have made so far:
an orchid selection box
magenta & gold
2 postcard sized pieces on watercolour paper c.10 x 15cm
& 3 pieces c. A4 sized (32 x25cm)
from a group of 11 works on paper in gold and magenta oil with cold wax medium just completed.
An experiment included in the process this time of painting a layer of crimson house paint ( matt emulsion) above the gesso priming layer and below the first layer of magenta oil and wax. I am pleased with the result that the scraped lines have a more solid red effect than if they scraped right through to the paper because the emulsion is so opaque and has such dense coverage
dark orchids
the next (final?) stage of the painted over panels
they started like this, with a new bottom layer (over the previously painted panels) or rich alizarin crimson
then powder pigment, mark making, blues and turquoises laid over with a squeegee
then finally a few more layers of darker colours and a touch of gold
2 details, one from each panel
gold sketch

oil and cold wax medium on paper c. 30 x 20cm
